The Consultants

Samantha Williams of Athena’s will be joining us for this event.

Her goal as a Goddess is to share that beautiful gift with others in a fun, safe and educational way. Athena’s was also a great choice for Samantha because of the time, energy and resources the company puts into their consultants.

Kerry Armstrong and Brooke Cote of Beautycounter will be joining us for this event. Beautycounter’s mission is to get safe products into the hands of everyone. There are about 10,000 chemicals commonly found in personal care products – only 10% of those chemicals have safety data. The US has not passed a federal law to regulate the ingredients used in personal care products since 1938. The European Union has spent the past two decades banning or restricting more than 1,300 ingredients – the U.S. has only banned 11 to date. Even more troubling, chemicals linked to breast cancer, learning disabilities, infertility, and other health issues are allowed in the products we use every day. We deserve better. At Beautycounter, they’re doing something about it. Beautiful products, made safe.

From here she has built a company that encourages women to stand on their own two feet, and to build a business in their own time, on their own terms. She is entirely sincere in her mission to create a tribe of entrepreneurial women. As you can probably tell, her message resonated with Deirdre, so Deirdre decided to dive in headfirst and join her on this crazy journey. As a wife and mother she could not resist joining a brand that empowers women to be the best while looking and feeling their best As Vermont’s first India Hicks ambassador Deirdre can’t wait to share the collection of lifestyle products with all of you. They are exceptionally crafted but very affordable.

There are only 14,000 KEEP designers (other popular companies have millions!), so this is a true ground-floor opportunity.
